So, starting the PADI Rescue Diver course on August 1st, besides the bookwork, any advice out there to help prepare for it?

I dont know about Padi but I have done the ssI and all I can say is BE IN SHAPE it is a lot of work in the water.
Regardless of agency the syllabus and requirements are similar. I would suggest spending a little time prior to the class reading up on decompression illnesses and other diving maladies; try to go outside of the standard theoretical signs/symptoms and look for case studies and real life descriptions of how they manifest themselves (from people who were fortunate enough to survive..).
Also, if you haven't already taken a first aid/cpr class, then do; my advice would be to look for one taught by an experienced and active ems professional (paramedic/fire fighter etc) - the real life examples and anecdotes they can provide will make the course infinitely better and more enjoyable.
Enjoy it.
